Caffè Concerto in London offers an exceptional experience with a blend of elegance and delicious drinks and snacks and desserts. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a quick break. Special mention to Tasmina for her outstanding service, her attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly demeanor truly elevated our visit. Highly recommended!

Shocking. Amazing menu and 1 gluten free option - carrot cake. With so many things easily being gluten free, toast, crepes, scones yet not a single option. Terrible. Gluten free is not a fashion it is a health condition where people suffer extensively.

The dishes were average, and not worth the wait and price. The service was slow but the servers were friendly. The prices were quite expensive (£30 per person for a main course and a frozen dessert). The Christmas music at the beginning of November was a little too much, extra Christmas decoration.

Caffè Concerto Whitehall, located near Trafalgar Square, is an excellent spot to enjoy London’s traditional afternoon tea. The staff were attentive, polite and friendly, making the experience even more delightful. The bathrooms were clean and spacious, which is much appreciated when you're a tourist in the city. Highly recommended for a relaxing tea break and a quick snack before continuing your journey through the streets of the UK’s capital!

I'm not usually one to leave bad reviews... BUT this place is a tourist trap. Pretty on outside and inside, good looking menu displayed, and inviting dessert display. However, took about 10 minutes to get a server to table, 20 minutes to get drinks, and didn't bring water until we asked. The waitress didn't know the answer to simple questions like what was a certain item. No soup of the day despite being displayed largely outdoor as an intriguing pumpkin bisque(part of the reason we went in). The meatballs were good though. The pizza was cold and cheese was a very high ratio to the little amount of sauce (if any). Bathrooms were dirty, and just felt scammed overall. I didn't realize this was a chain at first, but now know that. Don't patronize this place, and opt for local.

It is a truly beautiful place to en enjoy a meal or to have the afternoon tea in London. The atmosphere is nice and the service is quite good. Like most places in London, the food could be improved. Although the products are fresh, the preparation is very basic and nothing special. In most places in London, they charge you between 10-15% for the service. However, in this place, they charge you 6,5% for the service. My experience was good, and I will probably go back again. It is not a cheap place to go, but it is not one of the most expensive in the area.

It was a very unpleasant time!! Black hair tied up at the entrance... .A person like a manager!! From the moment I walked in, they told me I would sit on the terrace and they handed me a menu to take away without telling me where to sit. When I took my order, I made sure to make eye contact with them, but they ignored me. When the employee took my order, I understood it, but they took my order wrong and didn't even give me a menu. So when I asked if I had forgotten my order or made a mistake, I pretended not to understand... . I think it's racism, but they also look like Arabs, not Europeans with blonde hair, so why are they doing that... I felt so bad

Be careful when you dine in this restaurant. There are thieves and robbers in this area that will quickly enter the restaurant and your bag can go missing. Our bag got stolen and despite having CCTV footage the restaurant was not at all cooperative to share with us. Despite this poor service we did pay our bill and walk away but the management is not at all responsive or helpful. I have personally called the restaurant 4 times with assurance they will come back to me but of no avail. Hope they cooperate with the police.

They promised they will call me an update me but its been a week nobody has had the courtesy to call or update. I think its an inside job though i cannot prove it but avoid going to this place and be very careful.

Totally not worth, the service was terrible, food quality was very low in accordance with the price and above all they charge automatically 12,5% service costs above the bill. First of all: My boyfriend and I got a table in the middle of the restaurant which was lined up with the front door. So everytime someone came in, they had to walk past us, which was very annoying because of the little distance, there was between our table and the table next to it. The door was also open, so there was a cold draft all the time. So I asked for a new table and the waiter told me that, that was not possible, because there were only tables left for 3 or 4 persons. That was weird, because I saw other couples (2 persons) sitting at a table of 4 as well... That is kinda weird...? Second of all: We had to wait at least 25 minutes for our food. It was then served without any sauce (We had fries, burgers and a sandwich). So we had to ask for sauce. Third of all: The quality of the food was very poor. The fries were dry and soaky and so was the sandwich. And the cutlery was not polished clean at all. You wouldn't expect this from such a fancy looking restaurant. Furthermore, the service. The waiters were very impolite and did not look happy at all, we really got the feeling they didn't want us there and that they wanted us to pay as quickly as possible and leave. In the conversations we had with them they were responding very short and hackneyed. They never came by asking 'how the food was' or 'if we liked it' etc. We had to ask the waiters always ourselves And on top of that at hey made us pay 12.5% ​​service charge even though we didn't wanted to do that at all! To conclude, this was our first time and last time eating here. Totally not worth your money. Only go here if you want to pay way too much for super low quality food and really terrible bad service!

I visited in the afternoon after a stroll around St James’s Park to celebrate my mum's birthday. The interior is beautifully decorated, making it the perfect spot for afternoon tea, which they offer at a reasonable price. I decided to order the prawns, mussels, and beef salad, which were absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked! I also tried a lemon cocktail with Prosecco (apologies, I've forgotten the name), and it was one of the best cocktails I've ever had. We also ordered an Irish coffee, which had a pleasant balance of strong coffee and alcohol. Given the touristy location, the service was a bit slow, and the first glass of water I received had a lipstick stain on it. However, they quickly replaced it with a clean one.It’s on the pricier side for a coffee shop, but that’s to be expected. I highly recommend the chocolate gâteau. I will definitely be visiting again.

They really need to be more attentive. I ordered a cafe and a cake which should be the simplest order, the manager forgot my cake I waited for 15 mins and had to ask another waiter for that. And when I asked for the bill, the waiter said ok and then just continued to the table setting and I waited for another 10 mins and had to ask again. The water in the bathroom was extremely hot which literally will burn your hand. Another day passed I still feel my hand skin which was burn yesterday hurt. Yesterday I was in a hurry so I forgot to ask to take out the service charge. With this service, the staffs here simply do not deserve it Updates: I tried to contact them with the email provided on the review hopefully at least they can change the over-hot water problem in the loo, but no reply as all. So no need to waste your time with this company.

This pret always has such nice service. The team seem to always have fun with each other, even when it is busy. There are times when the shelves look a bit bare however they are quickly stocked up and there's still plenty of choices. I want to thank the tall blond gentleman who served me this morning (I'm so sorry I didn't get your name even though it was on your badge!).
